Fwd: [Bug 873934] [NEW] ARB apps should install into /opt/extras.ubuntu.com/packagename

[David Planella]

Hi App Review Board,

I had a look at this bug [1] (forwarded below). I can change the info in
the developer portal to reflect the fact that ARB apps need to be
installed in /opt/extras.ubuntu.com, that's not a problem.

We've gone a long way in ensuring that the experience and the
information in the app developer site is consistent for both open source
and commercial apps, by consolidating submission through MyApps and by
presenting the same step-by-step guide regardless of the type of app.

I'm concerned that we're introducing a new point of divergence here
(/opt/extras.ubuntu.com/packagename for ARB apps vs. /opt/packagename
for commercial), making it more difficult to present a consistent
process at the stage of submission.

What is the rationale for this change? And would not be a way to go back
to a unified way to install apps in /opt/packagename?

Thanks.

Regards,
David.

Public bug reported:

The Technical Board, when approving the ARB process, said that
applications are to install files under
/opt/extras.ubuntu.com/packagename, whereas the
http://developer.ubuntu.com/publish/ page says to put them under
/opt/packagename.
 Either the ARB process should be changed, or the site updated to
reflect this, to avoid confusion between what reviewers are expecting &
what application developers do.
